During the warmer months, your back yard can become a true extension of your living space and a destination to destress and relax. If you aren’t making proper use of your back yard, you are truly missing out. Here are 7 ways to make your back yard into a true oasis and staycation destination.
Think Oasis
Regardless of the size of your back yard, you can transform it into a space you can enjoy. Everyone’s tastes are different and everyone finds different things relaxing, so zero in on what you do like and forget everything else. While some people might find the babbling sounds of a water feature the height of relaxation, it might drive others crazy. Focus inward, declutter, and make sure only what will make you happy and enable you to relax is present.
The View
If you’ve got a great view, take advantage of it. Don’t block it and let it speak for itself.
Think Comfy
Comfortable seating is key. While the style and colors and materials are totally up to your taste, seating is everything. Provide a welcoming space to relax and unwind. Why not throw in a hammock for the ultimate oasis environment?
Water Features
From private swimming pools to ponds and small birdbaths, there are numerous ways to incorporate water into your backyard. Many people favor ponds full of colorful koi fish and lily pads. It all depends on what you like and will enjoy most.
A Hot Tub
Who doesn’t love taking a soothing soak in a hot tub? There are numerous options and sizes when it comes to hot tubs. Whether you want a small tub for two or one that can accommodate up to 6 people, hot water and soothing bubbles can do wonders.
Get Shady
If you live in a hot and sunny climate, providing shade is super important to keep your space comfortable. Standing umbrellas can evoke those resort vibes. However, umbrellas are not the only option. Pergolas, awnings, and gazebos can also do the trick.
Landscaping
Choose the right landscaping to make your backyard pop. Color adds life to any space.
